Trail Along Barrington Street – Follow-Up Items from Last Meeting:

  • Craig said that he had not yet contacted The Coast to see if they are interested in running a piece on this project. The CLC suggested that Craig hold off on contacting the paper, as it appears that there is sufficient interest in the community.
  • Due to work and travel commitments, Delaine was not able to contact the other trails committees to get their thoughts and ideas.
  • Kristian said that he had spoken to several groups and there are people in the community who are interested in the project. He said there would be a meeting on Thursday, 23 June with Paul Euloth.  Kristian said that a small ad was also placed in the CHCA newsletter.
